Dogfight over Concord Dawn

Today, I got my newly finished 'Star Wars: Rebels' out for an airing! I think the episode 'The Protector of Concord Dawn' is one of my favourites! - so I was tempted to see if X-Wing would allow me to change the result of the space battle?PS: (In the following report, I have added stills from the episode)The scenario is that the Rebel fleet is trying to find a safe hyperspace route to a supply base which doesn't pass through Imperial space.Sabine Wren, herself a Mandalorian, suggests going via Concord Dawn, a Mandalorian colony, which is independent despite Mandalor itself being occupied by the Empire.Rather than going in force, the Rebels try a diplomatic solution, to try and get the fierce Mandalorians as allies, so 5 A-Wings of Phoenix squadron are dispatched under the command of Hera Syndulla, accompanied by Sabine Wren.

Hera: 'So, that's Concord Dawn, sure looks like it's been through a war.'

Sabine: 'This system has endured more than a hundred wars, My people don't need a reason to pick a fight.'
